    Maybe if TM had actually called the police (since he was SO scared) instead of his girlfriend..we would have a comparison tape to listen to.

    Why, he gave statements three times to that effect to trained interrogators and nothing was presented at trial to refute it and what would it add to the trial against NBC? They didn't claim he wasn't going to Target nor does it have any bearing on what they did. They doctored a tape to make him look racist, THAT is the only issue.

    Again what is it you are so obsessed with in this testimony you believe he would give, what is it you think would be revealed?

    I agree that TM should have called the police... Others had called the police on Zimmerman in the past.

    Well it sure would have been helpful had you emailed Bernie with proof of these 911 calls so the jury could have heard them!!

    OK. I MUST have missed something here. Tell me again WHY in the world GZ would EVER have to take the stand to prove NBC edited that call in an attempt to manipulate the emotions of their ever so easily swayed viewers? They did it. There is NO denying that. Why would he testify?? He was found innocent by a court of law for the death..why would he ever speak on the stand about it in a slander case?? All his lawyers will have to say in court, is my client was acquitted of all charges...it cannot be refuted. You have taken your normal off- the-DEEP-end comments to a new level. I sure hope we can get back to business as usual soon. There are WAY bigger threats to be pettily arguing about on here...

    NO, I meant Cognisant. you fail at spelling too I see.

    Adj. 1. cognisant - (usually followed by `of') having knowledge or understanding; "our youth are cognisant of the law"; "I am well aware of his limitations"
    Synonyms: cognizant, well aware, aware

    Apparently, NBC thought they could pull a fast one (like Dan Rather tried with the forged TANG documents) and like ol' Dan...they got caught.

    Why would Zimmermann take the stand? Simply comparing the actual tapes to the broadcast solidly makes he case.

    For the life of me, I don't see what the Trayvonistas think they will gain by putting Zimmermann on any stand. He's not gonna recant his story. Why should he? It's a proven winner.

    I have, prove he did not have a wallet or cash with him that night. That it is not listed in what they did inventory for purpose of evidence proves nothing. HIs clothing was taken into evidence because it had forensic value. His wallet would not. He was never arrested that night so why would they have confiscated his wallet even if he had it on him? Prove it was not in the truck, I often grab my wallet as I go out the store and just put in in the center console until I get out. Prove he didn't give it to his wife at the scene to hold in case they did take him into custody and charge him that night, I certainly would have done so.

    Absence of evidence is no evidence of absence.

    George didn't interact with his wife before he left the scene.

    I thought she was called and came to the scene? I'll stand to be corrected on that. She did come to the police department with a change of clothing so they could take what he was wearing into evidence, no reason to take his wallet. Are you claiming he was not wearing underwear that night since it is not listed in the inventory? But no proof he did not have his wallet and money or credit cards with him and the prosecution never made a point of it or disputed that he was on the way to Target that night.

    You made a statement of fact, not opinion. Prove it, show me a police report or something from the investigation that states he had no money or credit card or ID with him that night.

    You dodged the point I was making, of course. Not unexpected at all.

    But to answer your irrelevant question, not necessarily, no. The dispatchers are the ones taking down the information, if I call to report anything, I wait for their prompts so they can be ready to enter the information and file as a report according to whichever order they gravitate toward. So if I see someone driving recklessly and call the non-emergency number to file a report or complaint, even if I have the license plate number, I wait for them to ask "did you see a license plate number?" before just bombarding them with information in no real order whatsoever. I've noticed from experience that doing that tends to lead to them having to go through and ask specifically about details the called may have already blurted out.

    I hope they don't settle out of court. I would really like to see NBC squirm in court, and I hope they televise it live.

    Now that Zimmy is out rescuing families ... should be good explaining how he's cowering in fear for his life like he alleges in the MSNBC lawsuit ...

    The law suit is about defamation of character of which NBC is truly guilty of. And because of that George will always be in fear for his life because there are crazies out there that want to do him harm....yes! I can see George winning buckets of dough!...oh yeah!

    Can you cite the part of his lawsuit where he says he is "cowering in fear"?
